Yes! I new layout!
Cameron had been up for about 6 months and it was getting ridiculous. Since I have been “living” with my boyfriend, I haven’t been able to do anything graphic with the site, as I didn’t have the programs. But now, we’ve gotten Adobe, lots of fonts, and all my brushes! Now we’re back in business! I am very happy to see something different. I think the next layout will have lots of bright colors, but I really liked the contrast in this layout, so I stuck with it. I hope you all like it!
Apparently, even though I am more qualified than half of the people at the new place I applied at, they have not called me. When I called to check on the status of my application, the manager gave me a very generic answer and hung up. Either he’s sick of getting calls, or he sucks at his job. So I’m going to continue my search, but for now I am still sitting at Pier 1. What makes me so mad is that I loved what I do. It was the best job ever. Unfortunately, due to my manager being a complete flake, I no longer enjoy what I do. I hate that.
I hate that I have been robbed of my love of my job. It’s like it was stolen and I can’t get it back. I refuse to go on pretending nothing happened, but until I get another job, there isn’t much I can do. So the hunt continues.
I don’t have too much to say. I just wanted to write about the new layout. I hope you all have a great weekend.
PS: SEX AND THE CITY IS IN THEATRES TOMORROW!! (I’m going with my sister…I will let you all know how it goes!

Yes…oh poo. Pier 1 had a management position open a few months ago that went to a girl I went to college with. It was fine because she was there before I was and was going to transfer down south soon, which is why she got the job. She leaves in a week, so the manager was interviewing for the job last week. I went for it, and so did a woman who has been working there half as long as I have. She is about 9 years older and I helped train her. I found out yesterday that she got the job, which in my opinion, is complete bullshit.
I was crying and completely livid at the same time (in the privacy of the restroom, of course)
So, instead of working beneath someone who’s million questions I had been answering for the past 6 months, I am leaving. I have begun the hunt for a new job and I am hoping that I can find something with more hours and the possibility of moving up. I refuse to stay at a place where the only possibility of moving up is when I’m the only one that wants the job, because aparently, that’s the way it’s going to be. My manager gave me a “consolation” package of getting more responsibilities as well as visual and a bigger role in employee training. Yeah…I really want to train more people to take future jobs from me. Sounds fantastic.
She told me I could take off for the day or I could stay in the back of the store and move furniture groups. I chose to stay, but today I went job hunting. I’ve found a place I really hope I get hired at and I think I’ve got a pretty good shot. So, more on that when I blog again.
This will be a short blog as I have a terrible headache and really don’t want to stare at this screen. Hope you all are having a great spring season.
